In this recurring column, we highlight a few items we've run across that don't merit a full story of their own but are interesting enough to bring to your attention. This time we look at vintage Halloween pictures, Halloween at the White House, human-sized fungi, Weather Photographer of the Year, Scott Montgomery, photography in the Tropics and recommended Mac hardware.
- In Too Scary for Children, Mee-Lai Stone features Ken Werner's vintage Halloween pictures, taken between 1976 and 1980 at San Francisco's outrageous outdoor parties.
- Reuters presents 14 photos of Halloween at the White House this year.
- Jackie Andres features Annie Collinge's images of Figures Posing as Human-Sized Fungi in costumes craft by Riitta Ikonen. "Disguised as human-sized mushrooms, a troupe of models rest on leafy forest floors, sprout beyond green tufts, and stand upright against fallen tree trunks that would serve as a home to respective species," she writes. "Each elaborate costume is constructed from upcycled materials, strengthening the project’s nod to sustainably connecting with our surrounding environment."
- Standard Chartered has announced the winners of its Weather Photographer of the Year contest chosen from a shortlist of 25 images received by entrants from 84 countries.
- Suzanne Sease showcases Scott Montgomery's images of Damen Shipyard Amsterdam. "It's really hard to describe how massive and powerful these vessels are until you stand under them, knowing the ocean is 40 feet above where you are, just on the other side of those doors," he says.
- Jason Row shares some Tips for Photography in the Tropics "from the cafe of my hotel in Bangkok."
- Thom Hogan covers his Recommended Mac Hardware after this week's announcements. He covers peripherals important to photographers as well.
